The Tough Dog 2" Lift Kit suits the Toyota LandCruiser 60 Series (1980-1990) and pairs uprated leaf springs front and rear with Tough Dog foam cell shock absorbers for a genuine 2" of additional ground clearance. Constant-load leaf springs are rated to carry bullbars, winches and dual-battery trays without sagging, while the foam cell damper design resists heat fade on long touring runs and corrugated tracks. Pair it with our control arm range if you're carrying extra accessory weight or running larger tyres. In stock in Australia now, backed by Tough Dog's manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Leaf spring rate should match the constant weight you carry, not just what you fit occasionally. Front accessories like a steel bullbar and winch, and rear items like a canopy, drawer system, long-range fuel tank or caravan tow ball weight, all add constant load that a standard-rate spring will sag under over time. Tell our team what you run permanently on the vehicle and we'll match you to the correct front and rear leaf spring rate before you order.
This is a bolt-on kit best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop or a capable DIY mechanic with leaf spring experience, as U-bolts and shackle bushes need correct torque and preload. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset caster, camber and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the leaf springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures or alignment. If you're adding heavier front-end accessories, pair the kit with upgraded control arm upgrades to keep steering geometry correct.
Tough Dog has been designing and valving suspension for Australian conditions for decades, with leaf spring and shock combinations developed specifically around local touring and work use rather than generic imports. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and is dispatched from Australian stock, so you're not waiting weeks on an overseas order. Tradespeople and long-distance tourers running 60 Series LandCruisers commonly spec Tough Dog because the parts are designed to handle constant accessory load, not just a one-off test drive — view the full Toughdog range to compare shock and spring options.
This kit suits 60 Series owners running a bullbar, winch, roof rack, long-range tank or camper trailer who need the spring rate to match that constant load, plus tourers wanting extra clearance for tracks and departure angles. Tradespeople using their LandCruiser as a daily work vehicle also benefit from the load-carrying leaf springs. If you're carrying variable loads — empty one trip, fully loaded the next — it's worth comparing this kit against airbag suspension to manage ride height under changing weight.

Yes, this Tough Dog 2" lift kit is designed for the Toyota LandCruiser 60 Series produced from 1980 to 1990, covering FJ60, FJ62, HJ60 and HJ61 variants. It suits the factory leaf spring axle setup front and rear. If you're unsure of your exact model or engine, our team can confirm fitment before you order using your VIN or compliance plate details. You can also check compatible parts through our parts finder for the LandCruiser.
This kit provides 2" of lift front and rear over standard ride height, achieved through Tough Dog's uprated leaf springs and matched foam cell shocks. Actual ride height gained can vary slightly depending on vehicle load and spring settling after the 500km bedding-in period. It's a consistent 2" across the axle, not a front-only or rear-only lift. Contact our team if you need front and rear heights to differ from the standard 2"/2" setup.
The kit includes 2 front and 2 rear Tough Dog leaf springs rated for 2" of lift, 2 front and 2 rear foam cell shock absorbers, U-bolt kits sized for the new ride height, and spring eye and shackle bushes. Fitting instructions are included. Upper and lower control arms are not part of this kit and are sold separately if an upgrade is needed. Check the kit contents list on this page for the full itemised breakdown.
Yes, the constant-load rear leaf springs in this kit are designed to support tow ball weight and rear accessory loads without excessive sag. For heavy or variable towing loads, tell our team your typical tow ball mass and rear accessories so we can confirm the correct rear spring rate. The foam cell shocks also help control the extra unsprung movement that towing introduces. Pairing with airbag suspension is worth considering if your load varies significantly trip to trip.
Control arms are not required for this leaf spring kit, since the 60 Series uses a solid axle with leaf springs rather than control arm-located coils. However, if you're running additional front-end accessories like a heavy bullbar and winch, checking your steering and track rod geometry is still worthwhile. Our control arm range is more relevant to coil-sprung 4WDs, but ask our team if your 60 Series needs any related steering components at this lift height.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this lift kit. Changing ride height alters caster, camber and toe, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after fitment and again after the 500km bedding-in period once the springs have settled. Skipping alignment is the most common cause of uneven tyre wear on lifted 4WDs.
Tough Dog offers different leaf spring rate options for the 60 Series depending on constant accessory load front and rear. If you run a bullbar, winch, canopy, drawers or long-range tank permanently, tell our team the combined weight so we can match you to the right spring rate before dispatch. Getting the spring rate right prevents sagging and keeps the 2" lift height consistent under load. This is worth confirming before ordering rather than after fitment.
A 2" lift on the 60 Series typically creates clearance for a moderate increase in tyre diameter over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width as well as any guard trimming. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before purchase, especially if you're also fitting wider rims. Test steering lock-to-lock and full suspension articulation before heading off-road with larger tyres fitted.
This kit is backed by Tough Dog's manufacturer warranty, covering manufacturing defects in the leaf springs and shock absorbers. Warranty terms are handled through our team as the supplying Australian retailer, so you're not dealing with an overseas distributor if a claim arises. Keep your purchase invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim. Contact us directly if you have any concerns after fitment.
Yes, this kit is designed to retain the 60 Series' factory-style ride quality while adding 2" of lift and improved load capacity, making it suitable for daily driving as well as touring and work use. The foam cell shocks are tuned for a balance between on-road comfort and off-road control rather than a harsh track-only setup. Many 60 Series owners run this kit as their only suspension upgrade for both commuting and weekend touring. If your daily use involves constant heavy loads, let our team know so the spring rate is matched correctly.
